"Joule" is a unit of energy, whereas "kilogram" is a unit of mass. The units have different physical
'dimensions', they're used to measure completely different types of quantities, and neither of them
can be converted into the other one. It would be something like trying to convert your age from
years into square inches.
1 joule = 1 Newton metre (it is 1 Newton times 1 meter). The amount of work done by applying 1 Newton force on an object and moving it 1 meter). With a 1 kg mass on Earth 'weighing' 9.8 Newtons, if you elevate this mass 1 meter above the floor, it will have 9.8 Joules (9.8 Newton meters) of potential energy, and you did 9.8 Joules of work to raise it that high (neglecting frictional forces).
The joule is the unit of energy in the SI. It is defined as the energy (or work) equivalent to a force of 1 newton acting over a distance of 1 meter.A joule is also equal to 1 watt-second (since watt is joules/second). So, if a device uses a power of "x" watts, during "y" seconds, it will use a total of "xy" joules.
Since it is equal to 1 watt-second, a joule is also equal to 1/3,600,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh), which is the unit used by power companies to charge you.
Watts are units of power. Joules are units of energy. They are not the same. One watt is one joule per second.
One Newton meter is equal to one Joule and three fourth of a foot pound.Nm= 3/4 f#. A meter is 10/3 f givingN10/3f = 3/4 f# so that aNewton N=9/40 # = .225#
The SI unit for work is the joule (J). One joule is equal to the work done when a force of one newton is applied over a distance of one meter in the direction of the force.
One horsepower is the same as 746 watts. (A watt is one joule per second).
The basic unit of length in the metric system is the meter. It is defined as the distance that light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second.
